You can purchase this helmet with or without a shield.....same helmet but cheaper w/o shield.Fabulous helmet with great air flo and very comfortable. I think it was originally designed for the track. I use it for training as do many of my friends. I love it.

Yes it's the same without the magnetic shield. I use it for road cycling, but I am sure it can be you for mountian bikes.

yes, they are almost identical. the one with the shield has a few slight mounting point on it for the shild, but its pretty much the same from what i could tell

The modular helmet I use is a Bilt Demon. I got it at Cycle Gear. I would think it should fit/mount in most modulars. Having removable padding to run the wires would be a plus. Volume with my set up is NOT a problem even at highway speeds. I had the Cardo Scala G4 and definitely prefer the Sena for ease of use and volume.

Erin, I thought that you could ..but after I received mine there is no magnet attachment on the non shield helmets....I would just buy the one with the shield or just buy some nice sunglasses like I did....B

This helmet doesnt have any special additions in terms of insulating a rider from the cold. Just the standard padding and no chin skirt which would help slightly. Definitely look into face mask, balaclava or both depending on how cold it gets where u live

I think the shield is permanently attached to cap area, but without it comes with zipper where isfully removable if U don't want to wear the entire shield on your head and face. I guess maybe the zipper is the difference vs permanently attached shield.

I don't know for sure but it is not as light as a typical road helmet but much lighter than a Bern or nutcase Helmet. It is not heavy at all.

This is a good all around helmet. Mot ideal for road racing, but great for a mountain bike or recreational riding.

I haven't worn my other Giro helmet since I got this one for $119. I wore it today in 32 degrees with a thin skull cap. Was awesome. I think it is a great lightweight helmet. The looks are not for everyone. The shield is not for everyone, and I wear my sunglasses sometimes instead of the shield. I tend to wear the shield when it is getting dark soon because it's easy to snap back on upside down and have it out of the way.

Not sure on the price diff? If you can stay ahead of the snow, the shield will be an asset. If you have heavy snow or wait until it gets too deep, get the one without. I took mine of thru it on the ground and eventually destroyed it w/ my snowblower, however, I don't miss it at all. I DO recommend buying one of these though, they're amazing. (Not for metal roofs)

The commuter has a thin rubber cover and a thin plastic cover over the rubber. Both pieces just snap over the back of the phone. They also include a screen film to cover the front. I had the defender for my iphone and it was total protection for my phone unlike the commuter which I think is a total wast of money. I purchased the UAG case and the Dualtek which I really like.

I got this unit for both me and my wifes full face helmets. Are helmets are the GMAX 54s max series and we love the chatterbox x1 slim. The fm radio isn't the greatest because of the reception out on the trails but the one on one communication is awesome. I highly recommend this product to anyone. Very satisfied.

No the whole helmet regulates the wind very well. Personally though I would go for a different helmet. It was a nice helmet, but not half as nice as my current icon alliance helmet. A little more expensive but defiantly worth it.

Check the website. The new helmets are dual certified. The old ones I believe are not. It is a good helmet in my opinion. I've used it for recreational biking and skate. I have a big head so it was hard to find one that would fit. They are legit, have a skate team etc.

Other than a downhill mtb full face helmet or a motocross helmet I'd say these are the next best thing but I've never hit my head riding a bicycle to be honest. I feel safe in this though for XC mtb. I've had concussions racing motocross

Hi Joy, The parts that keep the face shield closed may be made of plastic, I'm not sure. They feel sturdy enough, function well, and hold the face shield & lower jaw part closed securely. The lower jaw section locks in place with a sound click/thunk. The vent open/closed levers and the clear face shield lever seem ok. The tinted face shield control lever also seems sturdy enough and functions well, with thinner leather gloves or bare handed. Heavy leather gloves are more challenging. Nothing about the materiel or structure seem cheap to me, at least not yet. This is my first and only modular helmet so far, so I don't have much to compare it to.

I have had both white and black and loved them both. I live in Oregon though ;) so if I was doing a lot of riding in hot desert climes, I might choose white. I love this Sport helmet so light and comfortable. I tried to upgrade and bought a Spirit and I can't wear it! gives me a headache literally.
